Our First Educational Sabbath,
By W. E. H.
Everything is in readiness for a good day on our first Educational Sabbath, March 7. In the Department of Education we have been very busy in the pleasurable task of preparing material for the readings and setting plans on foot throughout the field to make the most of this important occasion. Education is a subject of deep interest to every Seventh-day Adventist home in the land. No phase of it is of greater moment than that represented in our church schools. In the first eight grades of our school work there are more than three times as many pupils enrolled as in the academy and college grades combined. We may truthfully say that it is three times as easy to put truth into the minds and hearts of children as of older persons. They are equally susceptible to evil influences. Hence the great importance of placing the young under proper instruction. As glad as we are to say that about fifteen thousand of our children and youth are enrolled in the first eight grades, we are compelled to add that there are as many more who are not attending a Christian school, for whom provision ought to be made. The readings for Educational Sabbath, March 7, deal with the interests of our church school work. Here are the topics:— - The Care of Our Children.
- Where Shall We Educate Our Children?
- What Our Church Schools Are Doing.
- What Is Being Done for Our Church School Work.
- What More Needs to Be Done.
These readings, together with a suggestive program and much other suitable matter, are found in the March number of our educational magazine, Christian Education. We invite every reader of the REVIEW to secure a copy and study these important themes with us. Be sure to go to church March 7.
